San Crystalbal

35 / April 2013 / Joe Choi

This mix was put together in the same manner as the previous, but this time, inspired by my trip to San Juan.  I'm letting these tracks rip - on their own - no comments.  Maybe you'll fill them out for me.  

I do have to say that following the younger Kuhn at the Burnmix poker table sucks!  Nothing was scooped, but, I needed a couple filler tracks and I think I came across at least five that already called DayDrinking their home.  I was also going to go for a mellower mix, but there's no point trying to beat the master at his own game.

I also threw on a few more web only tracks.

Looking forward to the get together in May.  Thanks for all the great music!
